Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 24 May 2025

Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and your rights. We follow the rules of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), so your data is handled with care and transparency.

1. Who We Are

Hi! We’re AvoMap — a tool for creating smooth map-based videos. When it comes to your personal data, we’re the "controller" under GDPR.

Have questions? Reach us anytime at hello@avomap.com.

2. What We Collect

Here’s the kind of information we collect when you use AvoMap:

Basic info: Your name, email address, and login credentials
Usage details: How you use the platform, IP address, device info, and your activity (like making a video)
Payment data: Handled securely by our payment provider — we don’t store your card details
Cookies: Used for functionality, analytics, and improving the app. You can manage them anytime

3. Why We Use Your Data

We only use your data when we have a valid reason:

To run the platform and let you make videos – contractual need
To send important emails – legitimate interest
To email you with tips or updates – with your consent
To keep AvoMap safe and fair – legitimate interest
To comply with the law – legal obligation

You can change your mind about marketing emails anytime by clicking "unsubscribe" or emailing us directly.

4. How We Use Your Info

To create and manage your account
To handle purchases and credits
To render and store your videos (temporarily)
To send reminders when videos are about to expire
To troubleshoot issues and improve AvoMap
To stop misuse or abuse

5. How Long We Keep It

Videos: Saved for 14 days, then automatically deleted. We’ll send two reminders before that happens.
Account data: Kept while you’re active — and longer only if needed by law.
Inactive users: Accounts may be deleted after long periods of inactivity.

6. Who We Share Data With

We don’t sell your data. Ever.

We only share info with a few trusted partners who help us run AvoMap — like hosting providers, payment processors, and analytics tools. They only use your data as needed and never for their own purposes.

If the law requires it, we may need to share data with authorities.

7. Transferring Data Internationally

Some of our providers are outside the EU. When that happens, we make sure your data is still protected — using EU-approved safeguards like Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

Want more info? Just ask us.

8. Your Rights

As an EU resident, you have rights under GDPR. You can:

Get a copy of your data
Fix incorrect info
Ask us to delete your data
Limit how we use it
Move it to another service
Say no to certain types of use
Withdraw consent at any time

Just email us at hello@avomap.com — we’ll reply within 30 days.

9. How We Keep Your Data Safe

We use modern security practices to protect your info — encryption, access controls, regular backups, and secure infrastructure.

No system is perfect, but we work hard to keep your data safe and sound.

10. Kids Under 16

AvoMap isn’t meant for kids under 16. If we learn someone under 16 is using the service without permission, we’ll delete their data right away.

11. Cookies

We use cookies to make AvoMap work better and to understand how it’s used. You can control which cookies we use through our cookie banner or your browser settings.

Check our Cookie Policy for the full scoop.

12. Changes to This Policy

If we make big changes, we’ll let you know via email or in-app. You can always find the latest version on our site.

13. Get in Touch

We’re always here to help or answer your privacy questions.
